SUPPORT FOR VEHICLE-BODIES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 256,820, dated April 25, 1882.

Application filed December 7, 1881. (No model.) v

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES GoMs'rooK, of Racine, in the county of Racine, and in the State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and uselul Improvements in Supports for Vehicle-Bodies; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof.

My invention relates to the manufacture of the supporting A parts of platform-wagons and the side-bar supports of buggies or other road-wagons; and it consists in certain pecu liarities of construction, as Will be more fully set forth hereinafter.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective of a continuous side bar embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a like view of my invention apbent into the form desired, and when the support is to be adapted for platform-wagons the center bar, B, and brace 0 (shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2) 'can be readily and quickly clipped to the main frame or secured in various ways-as, for instance, a plug having forked ends to embrace and clip the narrow top or apex of the A part can be driven into the end of the bar B, it the latter is made of similar tubular iron. These details I regard as of small importance, the main feature being the tubular iron frame, oblong or elliptical in cross-section.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is--- In supports for vehicle-bodies, a continuous tubular iron frame bent into the required shape and elliptical or oblong in cross-section.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 23d day of November, 1881.

CHAS. COMSTOCK.
